Cosmic ray ionization of the interstellar medium
Biman B. Nath, Peter L. Biermann
We consider a cosmic ray spectrum that is a power law in momentum down to a cutoff and derive a lower cutoff corresponding to MeV from the observed ionizatio…
The Galactic Center radio jet
Heino Falcke, Karl Mannheim, Peter L. Biermann
Recent observations of the radio and NIR source Sgr A* reinforce the interpretation of the Galactic Center as a scaled down version of an AGN. The discovery of an elongated structu…
Our Galactic Center: A laboratory for the feeding of AGNs?
Susanne von Linden, Peter L. Biermann, Wolfgang J. Duschl +2
We demonstrate that our Galactic Center, despite little evidence for the presence of a currently active nucleus, provides insight into the feeding of AGN: The observed velocity fie…
The emission spectra of radioweak quasars. I. The farinfrared emission
Martina Niemeyer, Peter L. Biermann
We model farinfrared (FIR) spectra of radioweak quasars with the assumption that the emission is from heated dust, and that the heating is due to the central engine via energetic p…
Did Cosmic Rays Reionize the Intergalactic Medium?
Biman B. Nath, Peter L. Biermann
We investigate the role of cosmic rays from young galaxies in heating and ionizing the intergalactic medium (IGM) at high redshift. Using the IRAS observations at , we estim…
Molecular Clouds Close to the Galactic Center
Peter L. Biermann, Wolfgang J. Duschl, Susanne von Linden
We demonstrate that the accretion disk model for the Galactic Center region by Linden et al (1993a) is applicable for at least one order of magnitude in radius from the Galactic Ce…
